    摘要: An electric power steering (EPS) system and methods to attenuate disturbances at the steering wheel by providing a feed forward motor drive input. The EPS includes an electric motor configured to provide a motor drive output responsive to a motor drive input, and an electronic control unit (ECU) being configured to provide the motor drive input, with at least one motor drive component of the motor drive input including compensatory periodic disturbance data. The ECU is further configured to provide disturbance attenuation with the at least one motor drive component from a road wheel signal and vibratory characteristics of a disturbance signal affecting the steering system.

    摘要: A method of controlling a tire/wheel assembly includes measuring a first amplitude of a selected harmonic order of the radial force variation of the assembly, and locating a first angular location of the selected order of the radial force variation of the assembly. A second angular location of a tire is located, which indicates a phase of the selected order of a radial force variation of the tire, having a second amplitude. A third angular location of a wheel is located, which indicates a phase of the selected order of a runout value of the wheel, and has a third amplitude. A remaining force metric may be calculated using the pairs of the first amplitude and the first angular location, the second amplitude and the second angular location, and the third amplitude and the third angular location.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for suppression of steering wheel vibrations generated by periodic disturbances in a vehicle steering system. An exemplary method reducing steering wheel vibrations caused by periodic disturbances involves determining a gross torque attributable to the periodic disturbances in the steering system, identifying a desired amount of suppression of the vibrations at the steering wheel, determining an offset torque based on the gross torque and the desired amount of suppression, and generating a motor command signal in a manner that is influenced by the offset torque. The motor drive command signal is provided to an electric motor coupled the steering wheel and/or the vehicle tires, and the motor drive command signal influences the torque applied by the motor to assist steering of the vehicle tires by the steering wheel in a manner that attenuates the vibrations communicated to the steering wheel by the desired amount.
